Works both ways my friend. The facts be the facts. Live with it.

Any of your so-called "facts" cannot supersede or contradict the words of Jesus.

Yahshua lived long before the niqqud.

Yeshu (ישו in the Hebrew alphabet) is the name of an individual or individuals mentioned in rabbinic literature,[1] which historically has been assumed to be a reference to Jesus when used in the Talmud. The name Yeshu is also used in other sources before and after the completion of the Babylonian Talmud. It is also the modern Israeli spelling of Jesus.

Another explanation given is that the name "Yeshu" is actually an acronym for the formula (ימח שמו וזכרו(נו (Y'mach Sh'mo V'Zichro(no)), meaning "may his name and memory be obliterated".

Yeshu - Wikipedia

Jesus’ name derived from the Hebrew Yahoshua, meaning Yahweh is salvation.

All the fury of Israel can not obliterate Jesus.

I don't believe that Acts contradicts Yahshua. If I were you; I would go back and read it carefully; and try to harmonize scripture, instead of chopping sections of the bible out. This calls for understanding.

Seriously, you are missing out on a lot of valuable information.

Just because some believers were kicked out of some synagogues; doesn't mean that all believers were kicked out of all synagogues. There is no contradiction unless you make one.

Niqquds are irrelevant!
Yeshu is NOT Yeshua.
The name ישׁוע occurs 29 times in the OT. In the 1917 JPS translation of the OT it is transliterated as Jeshua.

Jewish Encyclopedia-Names of God
In appearance, Yhwh (יהוה) is the third person singular imperfect "kal" of the verb ( הוה ("to be"), meaning, therefore, "He is," or "He will be," or, perhaps, "He lives," the root idea of the word being, probably, "to blow," "to breathe," and hence, "to live." With this explanation agrees the meaning of the name given in Ex. iii. 14, where God is represented as speaking, and hence as using the first person—"I am" (אהיה, from ( היה, the later equivalent of the archaic stem ( הוה). The meaning would, therefore, be "He who is self-existing, self-sufficient," or, more concretely, "He who lives," the abstract conception of pure existence being foreign to Hebrew thought. There is no doubt that the idea of life was intimately connected with the name Yhwh from early times. He is the living God, as contrasted with the lifeless gods of the heathen, and He is the source and author of life (comp. I Kings xviii.; Isa. xli. 26-29, xliv. 6-20; Jer. x. 10, 14; Gen. ii. 7; etc.). So familiar is this conception of God to the Hebrew mind that it appears in the common formula of an oath, "hai Yhwh" ( חי־יהוה = "as Yhwh lives"; Ruth iii. 13; I Sam. xiv. 45; etc.).
If the explanation of the form above given be the true one, the original pronunciation must have been Yahweh ((יהוה) or Yahaweh (יהוה). From this the contracted form Jah or Yah (יה ) is most readily explained, and also the forms Jeho or Yeho (יהו ), and Jo or Yo (יו contracted from יהו , which the word assumes in combination in the first part of compound proper names, and Yahu or Yah (יהו ) in the second part of such names. The fact may also be mentioned that in Samaritan poetry יהוה rimes with words similar in ending to Yahweh, and Theodoret ("Quæst. 15 in Exodum") states that the Samaritans pronounced the name Iαβέ. Epiphanius ascribes the same pronunciation to an early Christian sect. Clement of Alexandria, still more exactly, pronounces 'Iαουέ or 'Iαουαί, and Origen, 'Iα. Aquila wrote the name in archaic Hebrew letters. In the Jewish-Egyptian magic-papyri it appears as Ιαωουηε. At least as early as the third century B.C. the name seems to have been regarded by the Jews as a "nomen ineffabile," on the basis of a somewhat extreme interpretation of Ex. xx. 7 and Lev. xxiv. 11 (see Philo, "De Vita Mosis," iii. 519, 529). Written only in consonants, the true pronunciation was forgotten by them. The Septuagint, and after it the New Testament, invariably render κύριος ("the Lord").

There are several passages in the Talmud which are believed by some scholars to be references to Jesus. The name used in the Talmud is "Yeshu", the Aramaic vocalization (though not spelling) of the Hebrew name Yeshua.[1][2]

No! You make Yeshua a liar by denying that Christians were not persecuted beaten and killed .

You are mistaken - look at the 1260 years of persecution of Christians during the dark ages --

Everything you said applies to you more than me. I do harmonize scripture anything the disciples wrote must be interpreted to agree with what Jesus said not the wrong way round as you are doing.
You are the one chopping sections of the Bible out to make it appear to support you assumptions/presuppositions.
Just because some gentiles were in one synagogue does not mean all gentiles were permitted in all synagogues.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've studied this stuff for a couple of decades now. I just went to a quick and easy source to to support my claim. Want to prove my source wrong. Have at it. The onus is now on you to come up with a more credible source to refute my source. That's how logical arguments work. Oh, and by the way, the Jewish Encyclopedia is far from an unbiased source. The great thing about Wikipedia is that all have an opportunity to participate; so you can get multiple sides of the same debate.

I will say this. If you want to knit pick on minor details which aren't relevant to answering the OP; start your own thread. We don't want to derail this thread too far off topic.

Take your own advice. You still reinterpret your proof texts making them contradict the words of Jesus. Read the book of acts and see how many times the apostles were persecuted.
If so many Christians were going to synagogues why is church mentioned twenty two times and synagogues only five times in acts.

[a-lily-of-peace]

Paul was telling the Corinthians to physically keep YHWH's Moed (feast)

(CLV) 1Co 5:8
so that we may be keeping the festival, not with old leaven, nor yet with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened sincerity and truth.

If you keep Pesach, do you do it as described in Numbers 28:16-25? I’m assuming not, because there is no temple to make sacrifice, but I would consider that the reason the feast is not kept as described in the torah of Moses does directly relate to the fact that these things are being fulfilled in the spirit now. Passover remembrance is about Christ and his Kingdom, the new Jerusalem.

Mark 2:22 - remember that when the old wine skins were first used, at the time, they were new wine skins. They only became old by merit of having held the wine. But when it comes time for new wine, it comes time for new skins.

I don’t actually disagree about the appointed times, but I’m only now learning them. And from my own understanding, there are three which remain to be fulfilled (Feast of Trumpets / Numbers 29:1-6, Day of Atonement / Numbers 29:7-11, and Feast of Tabernacles / Numbers 29:12-38) and they all seem to be “shadows” of events to come described in Revelation.

My main concern is both understanding God’s will as well as keeping my eyes and heart on the Kingdom to come.

What are your thoughts on the idea that “heaven and earth shall pass away” (Matthew 24:35 reflected in 2 Peter 3:10) describes a literal destruction of all matter in creation?
